The last thing we want is 25,000 military personnel running "papers checks" in the American Southwest.

It IS technology. It IS bolstering BP professionals. It IS an ongoing relationship with Vincente Fox to forestall the intrusion schemes on the supply side of the border. It IS understanding the inexorable labor market dynamics that lure .50/hour laborers from central Mexico over the hour to work $5.00/hour jobs here. (Yes, folks, Americans will not take those jobs). It's mostly, primarily and profoundly liberal Democrat welfare pimps and their corrupt Jurist protectors.

Let's get that Worker Visa "amnesty" underway. Let's get people on the radar for God's sake. We're at War. It is not against Mexicans.

He wasn't pathetic. You disagree with his point, which is a very sensible one that I've espoused before GWB became president. That is, when Mexico's standard of living rises and they develop a strong middle class that illegal immigration problem will be solved.

Just because you disagree does not make it "pathetic".

(Have I mentioned lately that I despise the media?)

I think it's pathetic that OR has these 2 libs on right after the president's interview just to rip him.what the hell is up with that.to be "fair and balanced" they should of had one lib and one conservative...fair and balanced my a$$

I thought the interview was really fair until the follow up segment when he had two liberals cite the DNC talking points. Why not have Newt there to challenge some of the wild accusations? He does a great job of being calm and not talking over other people.

This is clasical Old Media - they report the news and then explain to you what you should think about it.

I think the 3 debates issue was a strawman put up by the Bush camp to get what they wanted in debate structure. They probably intended to agree to 3 debates all along, because the more people see Kerry the more they hate him. But they played pretend and roped the Kerry camp into making all these concessions in order to get three debates.

These Kerry people are such fools.

(The debates will feature George Bush against Chief Taller Horse.)

Bill, what the heck are you doing?! I know you like to be fair, but why let liberal pundits pick apart the Bush interview? If John Kerry has the cojones to come on and be interviewed in the same fashion, then so be it (though I think Satan will be strapping on ice skates before that happens). Otherwise, let the interview speak for itself.

Your interview is a coup in itself, and give President Bush credit for taking you on. You don't need to balance out the other side if their candidate doesn't have the guts to talk to you.

---I think it's pathetic that OR has these 2 libs on right after the president's interview just to rip him.what the hell is up with that.to be "fair and balanced" they should of had one lib and one conservative...fair and balanced my a$$---

they sucked. I honestly think that serious democrats have packed it in for 2004.

Also - lets not forget. Their mission was accomplsihed. He didn't lie then, he didn't make a mistake and he should feel no need to back peddle. He needs to make it clear to the idiots with no military reference - their mission was accomplished, so I said it and celebrated with them.Lack of knowledge of military speak is exactly the mistake the Dems made when forging the memos.

That's exactly what I tell people. An exit strategy is another way of saying, "retreat."

It isn't wrong to have a retreat strategy when you're in danger of losing, but that isn't the case in Iraq. We outnumber the enemy combatants... We are more skilled and better equipped. We're in control of over 80% of the of the country... over 90% if you consider that it is only a fraction of a fraction of the provinces occupied by the terrorists.

Victory is assured if the Democrats would only shut up and get with the program. Exit strategy my foot. =)

(NO MORE PEACE FOR OIL!!! DOWN WITH TYRANTS, TERRORISTS, AND TIMIDCRATS!!!! (3-T's For World Peace))

---Kerry's counting on the red fading to a manly bronze by Thursday. He doesn't want his makeup artist to paint him orange...like AlGore. Evidently that's what he thinks did AlGore in.---

the parallels are just ludicrous. these guys really HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN JFK; the Nixon/Kennedy debate still rages in their dimly lit brains. the on;y lesson they learned from the gore debacle is to not actually PAINT their candidate, so they BAKED him this time. heavens. what maroons.

We listened to an excellent program on Talk Radio last night (driving across the desert here) and I think our reprezsentative AND our President have dramatically underestimated the depth of this issue to us here in the American Southwest.

They had callers suggesting putting landmines along the border (swear!!!!) also played an exceprt from PBS where the Mexicans are swearing they are going to take back their land and this mass illegal immigration is "part of the plan." This I'm beginning to believe is probably true...

My fear is due to either poor advice from McCain (who isn't getting it here, either) this is something the President is going to be beat up on badly in the debates.... except, lest I forget, Kerry swore when he was in New Mexico that he would give amnesty and citizenship to ALL illegal aliens!

"Colmes is on and is hammering on Bush for the "mission accomplished" statement. "

Colmes is a moron. He gets on one thing and talks it to death. He's done the same thing with John O'Neill everytime he's on the show. Keeps asking him the same question about "free fire zones." What a dope.
